Labor productivity is very important phenomena to maintain the sustainable economic development. ... more Labor productivity is very important phenomena to maintain the sustainable economic development. As a matter of fact, there are many studies in the economic literature about determining the factors affecting labor productivity. At this point, this study aims to investigate the relationship between labor productivity and educational expenditure by using the data covering the period of 1971-2015 for Turkey. To this aim, we apply autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL). By using the bound testing approach, we investigate the short-long run relationship between variables. The empirical findings indicate that the effect of educational expenditure on labor productivity is significantly negative in short run and insignificantly positive in long run. On the other hand, the effect of GDP growth on the labor productivity is significantly positive in both short and long run. While the effect of average annual labor worked hours is significantly negative in short run it is significantly pos...

These type of groups stay in the country permanently. Diaspora is an ethnic unity that was created by people migrated by force or voluntarily from the same ethnic origin of individuals in one or more countries to protect their personal rights ts and to avoid losing their own identity. Diasporas, which were created for this purpose at first, have become effective even in the administration of the country where they exist, especially by gaining economic power. In the beginning of the purposes of the diasporas, it comes not to lose their own identity and to secure them to get a regular relationships with their home countries no matter where they live and no matter which country they belong to. The possibility of foreign investment presented with this bond is so important that it functions a lot in the development of the country. The possibility of foreign capi...

For this reason, a lot of research has been made on the determinants of labor productivity and the effects of those determinants on productivity. In this study, the effects of generally accepted determinants were investigated. In the study, the data set covering the period of 1997-2018 was used for G20 countries. The long-run effects of the related determinants were discussed by using the neuro-fuzzy model ANFIS. The ANFIS model was chosen because it is a powerful method that has the ability to learn and to make strong decisions and is often used in the determination of nonlinear relationships between variables. Since the ANFIS model does not provide equations related to the detected relationship, the long term effects of the determinants were investigated and interpreted by means of the two- and three-dimensional graphics produced by the model.

In this context, quarterly data for the period 2005-2017 is used for Turkey and the variables used to determine the efficiency of the monetary transmission mechanism are analyzed by the VAR method. The obtained results indicate that the loans and reserves have a more effective role on the inflation as a channel of the monetary transmission mechanism. According to the long run results, while the exchange rate and reserves channel have a negative effect on the real GDP, it is revealed that loans have a positive effect on the real GDP in the long run stabilization.

In addition to all these, the problems in the ruling class and the chaos environment have resulted in the immigration of many people to alternative living spaces. These immigrations have affected labor market both positively and negatively besides the social life. The labor demand increased by the entrance of the immigrants into the market has affected the employee wages and also this situation has affected the life standards of the citizens. In this study, the immigration that took place in the countries established after the splitting of the Soviet Union, forming one of the two poles of the world before the cold war, and the effects of this immigration on the labor market have been analyzed considering previous studies on the subject. The studies carried out on this subject have yielded various results according to the area in which it's carried out, the time interval it includes, and the period's structure. For this reason, the points of views on the subject are compared by making a long literature review.

Having aroused as an additional factor besides the production factors especially in today's age, and being regarded as an important production factor by many academics, information has been an important factor for increasing the growth rate of both developing and developed countries. This enables countries to develop without being dependent on their own production factors. However, developing countries have difficulties in sustaining their growth acceleration because of the problems they have in both finding qualified labor power and accessing technology and capital. For this reason, many developing countries search alternative ways for solving this problem and sustaining their growth trend. When the countries which have reached high growth rates and sustain these rates despite the economical crises are analyzed, it can be observed that many of these countries have based their growth economies on information technologies, and benefit from their Diasporas for developing these technologies. It can easily be seen from the studies that while the countries, especially China and India, which have made important economical progresses in the last 10-15 years, they have get fundamental befits from their diasporas. Many developing countries need humane capital as much as they do capital. While these countries benefit from foreign investors for the capital they need, they cannot find a foreign resource that can provide them with labor power necessary for humane capital. Within this respect, the countries (China, India and South Korea etc.) having Diasporas with qualified labor power, try to provide the humane capital they need from these groups. Many Asian and European countries such as China, India and Israel, have tried to meet their humane capital need by getting benefit from Diaspora members who have developed themselves at engineering, R&D and information technology areas aroused in developed countries. The aim of this study is to show developing countries who have Diasporas in developed countries but cannot make use of this power or are unaware of it such as Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina that their Diasporas are alternative resources for humane capital necessary for them to sustain the reached growth trend.

Studies on homeland focus on issues such as remittances, foreign direct investment, Technology and knowledge transfers and trade links, while studies on immigrant countries focus on issues such as immigrants' impacts on the local labor market and commercial effects. The aim of this study starting from this point is the recent massive migration flows exposed to these migration flows in Turkey to determine their impact on the local labor market. In the study, the data set covering the period of 2011-2016 was used for 26 sub-regions of Turkey and this was tested using panel data analysis. According to the results, while immigrants with a work permit in Turkey have a statistically significant and positive impact on the women’s labor force participation rate and the total labor force participation rate, ther...

Ekonomik Açıdan Terör ve Turizm İlişkisi: Dünya Örnekleri ve Türkiye Örneği

Ulus-lararası turizm sektöründe son zamanlarda yaşanan gelişmeler bu sektörün en hızlı gelişen sektör olduğunu göstermektedir. Diğer yandan bu sektörün en fazla etkilendiği ulusal ve uluslararası olay terör faaliyetleridir. Terör gücün veya şiddetin, bireylere ya da mala karşı kanunlara aykırı şekilde devlete veya topluma korku vererek politik, ideolojik ya da dini amaçlara ulaşabilmek için kulla-nılması olarak tanımlanmıştır. Yapısı gereği terör, ekonomik aktörleri doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak etkileme gücü olan bir olaydır. Bu çalışmanın amacı terör olaylarının ekonominin önemli bir un-suru haline gelmiş olan turizm faaliyetlerini dünya örneklerinden de faydalanarak nasıl etkilediğini ortaya koyabilmektir. Turizm sektörü olaylara çok erken tepki verebilme özelliğinden dolayı eko-nominin diğer unsurlarına göre terör olaylarından daha hızlı etkilenme potansiyeline sahiptir. Tu-rizm faaliyetleri dünya genelinde GSYİH'nın yaklaşık %9'unu, dünya ihracatının %6'sını, toplam yatırımların %4,4'ünü ve her 11 çalışandan 1'ini istihdam etmektedir. Türkiye gibi terör eylemleri gerçekleşen İspanya, İngiltere, Endonezya ve hatta ABD gibi ülkelerin turizm sektörünün terör olaylarında olumsuz etkilendiği anlaşılmaktadır. Çalışmada, yerel ekonomik kalkınmadan, ulusal ve uluslararası ekonomik göstergelere kadar mikro ve makro açıdan terörün turizm sektörüne ve do-layısıyla ekonomiye etkileri incelenmiş, terörün ekonomiye GSYH değerlerinden ödemeler bilan-çosuna, istihdamdan yatırımlara, ihracattan döviz gelirlerine, bankacılık sektöründen inşaat ve ulaşım gibi bir çok alt sektöre etkileri dünya örnekleri ile beraber Türkiye özelinde incelenmekte-dir. A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Terör; turizm; ekonomi; Türkiye A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T Tourism sector constitutes an important place in countries' economic performances. The recent developments in international tourism sector show that this sector is the most rapidly developed sector. Besides, this sector is mostly affected by national and international terrorist activities. Terror is defined as the usage of power and violence in order to reach politic, ideologic and religious purposes by frustrating the society and government lawlessly against individual and asset. Terror structurally has a power of affecting economic activities directly and indirectly. The aim of this subject is to present how terror events affect the economically important tourism ac-tivites with examples in the world. Tourism sector has a negative potential of affecting easily by terror attacks because it has an early reaction mechanism to terror events. Tourism activities employ 9 % of GDP, 6 % of world export, 4.4 % of total investments and 1 of every 11 employees in the world. Just like Turkey, tourism sector in Spain, England, Indonesia and even USA has been negatively affected by terror attacks. In this study, economical effects of terror to tourism was analyzed in micro and macro ways, in other words from regional economic development to national and international economic indicators, and terror's effects on GDP values, balance of payments , employment investments, exports, foreign currenct income, banking sector and sub-sectors like construction and transportation were reviewed both for Turkey and for other country examples.

For this purpose, in this study, the relations between the R&D expenditures of the relevant countries and the number of patents they have and the export of high-technology are examined for the period of 1999-2018. In the study using panel data techniques, firstly, the existence of cross-section dependence in the se-ries was investigated. Following the determination of the cross-section dependency, the stationarity of the series was investigated by Pesaran (2007) unit root test, which can also be applied in the presence of cross-section dependence. Afterwards, the series, which were found to be non-stationary at level, were made stationary by taking the difference of the series and the relations between the variables were analyzed by panel fixed effects and panel random effects methods. In the outputs of the study, a significant positive re-lationship was found between the n...

While labor cost is determined as dependent variable, the ratio of immigration to country population is determined as regime dependent regressor and threshold variable and panel threshold method is used in the study. The findings indicate that there is a single threshold level for the established model. In the first regime below the threshold value, it is determined that an increase in immigration reduces labor costs, and if the immigration exceeds the threshold value, it is concluded that the immigration has no effect on the labor costs.
